- May is a lifelong rancher who values wildlife and conservation
- Tutchton is a long-time conservation advocate and environmental attorney
- Murphy Robinson and Tai Jacober, two new appointees, should also be confirmed as they have also demonstrated that they are fair and effective Commissioners
- Robinson is a long time hunter and angler with significant law enforcent experience, important as a CPW Commissioner

- All of the candidates have important background, education, and dedication to make them ideal CPW Commissioners
What Makes a Good Comment?
The key here is QUALITY over quantity. One person’s well-written comment stands out more than many people’s short, unspecific comments. We are encouraging folks to take their time and submit thoughtful comments. Here are a few things to keep in mind writing your comment:
- Personalize your comment!
- Identify and explain the problem
- Offer factual and unbiased information and make it place-based – for example, this interaction happened at this location
- Provide personal experiences and observations
- Highlight what is good with the plan
- Short comments are not better comments. Details are good, and having a longer comment does not mean it won’t be read!
